For big swimmers, the re-released Creek Chub Pikies are a good plug that is well priced. For topwater the Heddon magnum and super magnum spooks are nice and inexpensive as well. Salty makes some great big-water plugs, the lipless fathead is real nice at 3 oz. and the sheriff is a huge, nasty topwater pencil popper that fishes great, same with the fathead popper, and I've got high hopes for his new 3.5 oz. needles! Big plugs catch big fish! (and quickly tire aging back/shoulder muscles!)
